whos in control?

I got sent this dress today from Missguided and as soon as I answered the door I changed out of what I was wearing and popped it on! The shape is lovely and I just adore the colour. It comes in loads of different colours, I was going to go for the generic black and go for a outfit like the ever so stylish Amanda, but ended up opting for orange instead. I do think I'll be buying this dress in another colour though, its just too cute, flattering and easy to wear not to! I've bought these bloomer style pants from American Apparel to wear under the dress, Victoria thought I was crazy when we saw them in the shop in Manchester, I just had to get home and order them. They look so awesome in a ye olde kinda way!

I haven't worn patterned tights in ages so thought I'd give them a try with the outfit! I'm also wearing my lovely buckled Primark wedges that I got for £6 the other day in the sale. I had planned to buy them full price like a year ago when they came out, but after seeing my size randomly in the sale in my local crappy Primark, I knew it was fate. I want to start wearing heels more in the future, I don't even know why but I've really had a urge over the past few days. Starting with this pair via ebay! Cannot wait for them to arrive!

Ahhhh I have wanted one of these dresses for ages just not decided on a colour! The orange is nice (although it looks camel in the pictures?), I was thinking of getting coral or red even though I never wear red. x

Love the dress, I wasn't sure about it when I first saw it online as I thought it might look a bit cheap but you've completely changed my mind! I really want to wear heels more too, I have so many, and I do love them, I just need to learn to walk in them without inducing searing pain...

Arghhh that dress is so similar to my Zara dress - it even has the shoulder detail! and it nearly half the price i paid grr! I love those shoes, Loving wedges at the moment too. And those 'bloomers' are really cute I'd wear the pale pink ones! :)

Love this dress. I tried on a really similar one in Miss Selfridge last week but it was £40-ish and I wasn't sure if the orange shade worked with my super pale skin. This shade looks a lot more wearable. x

AH beautiful! And the wedges look amazing! YAY welcome to the heels club! I had one of these obsessions too and went a bit wild. I should really comment on your blog more seeing as I love it so much but I'm more of a lurker :S Just know that i'm always lurking......creepy.xxx

Hi Lily!! I'm Nuria, from Spain. I really love your blog, everyday I check it and take some ideas. I just wanna tell it to you. You're a big help for me! I also follow you on twitter!Congratulations for your job, you're very good! :)

Love everything about this outfit! The shoes and tights look really good together and orange really suits your skin tone and hair. :)Those ebay shoes are lovely, wedges are definately the way forward. I have given up all hope in all my pairs of heels and stick to my comfy wedges every weekend! xx

She is gorgeous.Chanel may be known for its timeless designs, but with the introduction of the Chanel 2.55 Chanel brings us a line that is both seductive and a slight change of pace. Unmistakably different, Chanel classic strays from the quilted Chanel Evening Bags we have come to expect from the brand.
